Budget airline Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have launched their timetable for winter breaks to New York in November and December.

Four trips are available direct from Manchester Airport to Newark, timed so passengers can experience some of the key events in New York including Black Friday – the biggest shopping day of the year.

Departures will be on November 5 for four nights, November 26 for four nights - including Black Friday - and December 3 for four nights, plus December 11 for three nights.
